FSU football career passing leader No. 4: E.J. Manuel (2009-12)

  • 7,741 passing yards
  • 47 passing touchdowns
  • 66.9% completion
  • 8.6 yards per attempt

Before there was Jameis Winston, there was EJ Manuel. Manuel quarterbacked the Seminoles in 2011 and 2012 as the starter and put up big numbers in Jimbo Fisher’s offense.

It was clear that the Seminoles were building to something great after going 12-2 in Manuel’s final season, 2012. The very next year, Winston took the team to the national championship.

Manuel threw for 3,397 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2012 and was drafted in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
